Summary:

Unable to believe what he has done to Hattori, Yoite falls into a fit of panic. Raimei calls out for Miharu to help Yoite, but he cannot hear her. When the rest of the ninjas arrive, Yae uses the Izura Shingan in order to enter Miharu’s mind. Yukimi meanwhile confronts a now angry Ichiki, but he is quickly taken down by her and the following Tategami. Miharu tries to hide himself in his mind, when the Shinrabanshou appears to tell him that everyone had deceived him. Miharu claims that the Shinrabanshou isn’t is, and to his surprise, the Shinrabanshou expresses that she exists for his sake. As Miharu and the Shinrabanshou put hand in hand, Yae panics at the explosion created from it. The Shinrabanshou is surprised when she is unable to touch Miharu further, however, when an image of Asahi appears. Asahi tells Miharu to forget, apologizing for putting so much responsibility on him, and wanting him to return to his normal life. The Shinrabanshou is unable to stop Asahi, causing the chaos outside to finally stop as Miharu sheds tears from his eyes.

When Miharu later wakes in a hospital, he is confronted by Kumohira who does not allow him to leave. When Miharu asks about Yoite, he learns that he had disappeared without anyone’s knowledge at some point. Miharu further exclaims that Kumohira does not have the right to tell him anything, having hid the truth from him for so long. He is finally convinced to stay, however, when Raimei appears to reveal that he had been unconscious for quite some time. Raimei and Gau bring food to Miharu later, but he only tells them that they can hate him since it was his fault that Raiko died. This only makes Raimei angry, having not once thought to put blame on Miharu for the things that had happened. Leaving Miharu with a slap in the face, Raimei runs out of the room in tears. Gau leaves shortly after, giving Miharu time to think for himself.

In other places, Kotaro reveals to Kumohira the news about the “earthquake” that had happened recently. Due to the Kairoshu, this news was obviously altered. Kotaro further wonders what Kumohira plans to do from here on, as the Shinrabanshou has not left Miharu’s body. Kumohira only leaves in annoyance afterwards, refusing to tell Kotaro where he plans to go. Kumohira visits Yukimi next, expressing that there are still things for him to do despite his now limited abilities. Kumohira tells Yukimi to find Yoite, even begging him to. Kumohira states that there would be nowhere for him to go at this rate, and that it should be the same in Yukimi’s case. Yukimi only makes Kumohira leave afterwards, falling into stress. Kouichi finds Kumohira outside later, telling him the results of his resent research dealing with Yoite. The two are soon surprised to see Yukimi and Amatatsu show up via car, asking for them to enter. Yukimi hands the two a book recording Yoite’s progress, leaving him in their hands.

Kumohira later meets Miharu back at the hospital, telling him that he has probably found Yoite’s whereabouts. Kumohira then describes his belief that he had to protect Miharu, as he had even made the promise to his parents and his own grandfather. Having wanted to let Miharu do things his own way, he had used the Engetsurin on him. When Miharu learns that Kumohira would still prevent him from using the Shinrabanshou, however, he doesn’t believe anything has changed. Before leaving, Miharu asks for one condition from Kumohira. When Raimei sees Miharu leaving, she makes him promise that he would return safely with Yoite. On the train later, Miharu is confronted by a following Kotaro. Kotaro brings up talk of the past, where he had tried to get Asahi to join the Fuuma. However, she was much like Miharu in her refusal. Kotaro again admits that he wants the Shinrabanshou, only different from Hattori in that he simply wishes to watch how the world would change due to its power. Miharu allows Kotaro to do what he wants, getting off the train with the belief that he is still following him. Recalling what Kumohira had told him, that Yoite once went by the name “Sora” in the days he was still involved with his parents, Miharu finds Yoite inside a church.

Preview: Yoite acts tsun towards Miharu….again…

Impression:

-push-. No, Kumohira! -push-! After all the crazy stuff that was happening last week, I wasn’t expecting it all to end before the first half of this episode. Even then, the first half ended up being really silly. Watching a blind woman try to stab someone, and succeeding, is just not something you see everyday. Miharu turing into a giant…something….for no reason was really odd too. And let’s not even try to comprehend Hattori floating up into the air and freaking exploding. Come on, guys. Ninjas, sure. This? I don’t know. I also laughed at how Miharu’s mom popped out of nowhere to deny Miharu’s chance to get involved with hawt 1,000+ year girls. Talk about a cock block! Poor Shinrabanshou…. But after watching Miharu make Raimei run out of a hospital room crying, and his annoyed expression while nurse Juji cared for him, I’m pretty sure we all know what Miharu really wants in the end. It’s going to be bad news when he goes into that church with Yoite. GOD IS WATCHING. NOOOOOOO….
